Nintendo new CEO is a secret nazi and wants a direct in April becuase Hitler's birthday
PAX East 2019 had Yoshi and DQ Builders 2 on Nintendo front and Switch gameplay debuts of Mortal Kombat 11, Hellblade and Assassin's Creed 3.
I expected similar booth at PAX East this year, AC and Xenoblade for first party demos and Doom Eternal and The Outer Worlds as third party gameplay debuts. Quite shocked to hear AC will be the only new game they'd have.
when has optimism ever rewarded anyone in our shitty finite lives on this cursed planet
Do they really need to stick with the "pattern"? There is no police for that :p They can do whatever they want with their Direct release dates.
An Indie World this week would break this community.
I'd be down though if I can get a Silksong date
With the immense size of Animal Crossing, I think Nintendo cares very little that traditional gamers don't care. Like, I'm sure that many "traditional players" prefer something like Astral Chain to Animal Crossing but let's face it, they're not very important.
why compare strap chain t9 animal crossing
I think it be botw and Mario odyssey to animal crossing and say the Sims
astral chains casual equivalent be modern carnival games

Yep
Interesting, but maybe the info he got didn't specify what kind of presentation was. Of course, it could be that he thinks that a Direct will be soon as he knows some planned release that would need marketing ASAP.
It's not only about sales, is about having games for everyone. It's not that wise to base your whole strategy for 6 months in a single game that has a limited appeal (like all the games tbh). They did this with BotW back in 2016, but they presented the Switch and some games the same year.
Which means no Direct next week if they don't change the date, or that the March Direct is indeed the Nindies presentation. A indie game could be released on April tbh, like another collaboration with a Indie studio (Hyrule Necrodancer for example).
Yeah, but there is limited appeal of 1 million and limited appeal of 20 million.
One is more limited than another.
That is something that bothers me enormously. If things are going wrong and you dont want to plan things a lot just say it ffs

We could get also a Cross Code shadow drop, some cool announcements and even unexpected ones like Outer Wilds (a man can dream) etc. I personally think that the ship has sailed for a general direct to interest me and whatever will be shown will feel either too little too late, or too far away for the biggest games.
An indie direct on the other hand can bring awesome games either available right now or within a few weeks in some cases.
It's an unlikely scenario, but that's what I hope will happen.

A Direct and then an indie presentation in back to back weeks will be very nice.
:)
It is, but you know, announcing a couple of "hardcore" games to be released in the near future would make a good % of the Nintendo fanbase happy now, and I suppose they can do it easily. And this hardcore base is more vocal as we can see in this thread. It's just that depending on a single game and some indies is not what Nintendo should be doing during their peak year.
That would have been an excellent idea, but you give me too much credit in this case.
you're actually giving an hint in a hint, and at the same time the hint couldn't be a real hint, and the hint could be in the hint that we think it is not, in short (we) I don't understand anything of what's happening.
He's saying it's not this week. Period. It's simple, really.
Yeah, the March dream has ended. Next week we will have a Nindie World presentation and that will be the monthly Nintendo Direct, like Smash and AC were on the previous months.
If you'll all permit I'll just go ahead and ping every potential 'insider' on the forum for the 47th time to ask them to tell me exactly when the direct is happening
we all know that they're all on bowser's personal mailing list of nintendo secrets
im sure this time they'll just plainly give me a time and date and all this will be settled
if they dont respond ill just start tagging them on twitter hourly
hold up i'll take care of this

Believe it or not, that´s a relief for me personally.
Waiting day after day for getting nothing in the end is mentally exhausting.
So, thanks Nate.
I basically said the same thing like five hours ago. So yeah, I agree.
Didn't Nate also say today that he still expected a March Direct? Why would we take his word on the fact that it's not this week, but not on it being this month?
If we're confident that Nate's info is good—and he has a decent track record—it seems like the easiest interpretation here is that it's going to be later this month.
I feel like an Indie world should be a given. We'll have to see if and how the GDC delay will effect it, though.
Yes he said it's not this week, but he expects it will be this month. The only dream dead is for this week. March 26 I guess is the next logical date
Nate still has said he expects to see a Direct this month, in an earlier post today. So the March dream isn't dead yet
Well, idk what Nintendo's strategy is but idk how they have that much empty spaces in their release schedule with only 1 system now. At this point we can expect no games until late May other than Animal crossing and said game will be probably a remaster.... talk about disastrous schedule for a mid life cycle.
It could be the Nindies thing. I mean, the two past months some insiders were confident that "a Direct is happening this month", and it was true, we got both the Smash presentation and the AC Direct. This month the Nindies presentation seems likely, and that could be the leaked Direct.
Sorry but having 1 new game in the whole first half is extremely weak for Nintendo. All we had was ports and remake + Animal crossing. Xenoblade Chronicles HD won't make anything better. It's not a new console now, don't tell me this release schedule is weak as hell if they don't release something new until June.
Wouldn't a direct when we least expect it be a day or 2 before animal crossing? It would land in the second half of the month and RIGHT before a major release. Doesn't get much more "when you least expect it" compared to that.
Nintendo Direct. DD/MM/2020.
Opening sequence.
Furukawa, Takahashi and Kimishima are sitting in a well lit room, huddled around a screen. They appear to be reading a message board.
The camera zooms in to reveal they are rading this thread.
They turn around to look straight into the camera.
They burst out in laughter.
The screen fades to black, laughter still lingering in the background.
Then, nothing.
I mean, it's extremely weak, sure, but not exactly for Nintendo.
2018 and 2019 weren't much better, and would be arguably objectively worse if we get a June and May game (I think April is a dead month now)
